How to set XSL property on inherited core search results webpart

Question

I have created a custom Search results web part by inheriting from coreresultswebpart. I would like to override the default XSL with some modified XSL in my project instead of having to set the XSL using the web part properties on the site.

I have already added a few custom properties to my custom webpart and found a msdn article discussing the DataFormWebPart.Xsl Property. Just not sure how to take my modified XSL and set it to that property.

Answer 1

In your webpart constructor just set the property there.

public MyCustomWebpart()
{
     this.Xsl = "<xml></xml>";
}
